FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - The participation of Borussia Dortmund's first-choice goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in Friday's Bundesliga restart against Eintracht Frankfurt will be decided at the last minute. "We don't know exactly what the situation is. We're all trying to make sure he can be in goal for us," said BVB coach Niko Kovac in Frankfurt after returning from the training camp in Marbella.

The Swiss national team goalkeeper had returned early from Andalusia to Germany. According to Kovac, Kobel has caught a "slight cold." In addition, he is also suffering from "back problems." If Kobel is unable to play, Alexander Meyer is expected to guard the BVB goal on Friday (8:30 p.m./Sat.1 and Sky)./lap/DP/nas
